MARKHAM, ON--Oct. 21, 2013: Canadians have shared their love for
their Hyundai vehicles, and now it's time to pick the best story. From
coast-to-coast, Hyundai vehicles have become engrained into the lives of
their owners, and an online contest organized by Hyundai Auto Canada Corp.
in celebration of the company's 30th anniversary in Canada has brought its
customers' stories to the forefront.

From over 2,100 entries for the Hyundai Memorable Moments contest Hyundai 30 Canada collected
since August 8, 2013, ten were selected as finalists. With a Veloster with
Tech Package and EcoShift DCT as the grand prize, the stories were as
varied as the country we call home.

Through the contest, the company has learned Hyundai vehicles have
become chariots for the mundane (290km daily commutes), surprise adventures
(joining a herd of caribou, and unplanned vehicular modifications Tucson
convertible). They've even become facilitators for marriage (missed
connections, lessons in stick shift, and loud speakers), thrifty movie fans
(drive-in anyone?), university students (the city derbymobile),
conversation starters (sharp looking car), and served a family for nearly
30 years. These ten finalists have been published online for public voting.
Voting closes November 15, 2013 with the winner announced shortly
after.

"Reviewing these stories from our customers is an incredibly refreshing
exercise," said Steve Kelleher, President and CEO of Hyundai Auto Canada.
"All too often, my colleagues and I spend our days focusing on things like
vehicle quality, accessible pricing, equipping vehicles with features
customers actually want, and delivering a premium dealership experience.
While that approach has undoubtedly helped the company succeed over the
last 30 years, it hides from us the fact that Hyundai vehicles have become
a part of our customers' lives. To a growing group of Canadians, their
Hyundai is far more to them than a means for transportation; they're almost
part of the family."

The finalists were reviewed by a third party panel of judges and scored
on creativity, interest, originality, expressiveness, humour, and
meaningfulness. The stories from the 10 finalists will also be featured on
Hyundai Auto Canada's Facebook page
throughout the voting period.

The Hyundai brand entered the Canadian market in 1983, a mere 16 years
after the parent company was founded in Korea, and a full three years
before it entered the U.S. From initially offering but a single model,
Hyundai vehicles now carry nine nameplates, span nearly every segment, and
are sold and serviced through a network of more than 210 dealerships
nationwide.
